Hu Liu even thought that Leng You might have been lucky to survive. Even though he didn't hear Leng You tell him any details, he had seen cases of stepmothers abusing their stepchildren or even abusing them to death.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I felt. The more I thought about it, the more I felt sorry for Leng You.
"Uncle Hu Liu, will you please listen to me?" Leng You pulled the corner of Hu Liu's clothes.
The sight of Hu Liu, whose forehead was bulging with veins due to anger, made Leng You feel an indescribable feeling in her heart. After being reborn, it seemed that more and more people truly loved and cared for her, making her feel that the color of the world in this life began to be different from that in her previous life.
"Oh! Okay, Uncle Hu Liu will listen to you." Leng You's small gesture immediately softened Hu Liu's iron heart. Although he was very unwilling, he finally nodded.
"I brought some delicious food for Uncle Hu Liu and Uncle Dazui." Leng You talked more today than usual, really to appease Hu Liu's still angry heart.
"Don't bring food to Uncle Hu all the time. It's not easy for you and grandma.
By the way, if you need help with anything at home in the future, just let me know. With Uncle Hu around, no one will ever bully you again.
Also... you can't drive such a long distance on a sled by yourself anymore. Uncle Hu will send someone to follow you."
Hu Liu began to worry about something.
"I can do it." Leng You stated his position stubbornly.
"But...Alas!" Hu Liu knew that he could not convince Leng You, and felt helpless.
Hu Liu rode his bike and took Leng You to their newly opened store.
"Niece, you're here!" Liu Dazui, who had an anxious and sad look on his face, immediately smiled when he saw Leng You.
"Uncle Big Mouth!" Leng You shouted.
At the same time, he quickly scanned the store.
According to the drawings she had given them before, they connected three of the four rooms and propped up each gable with pillars.
There were tall shelves on all four sides of the house, with all kinds of cured meat neatly stacked on them, looking clean and tidy and easy to see at a glance. The only drawback was that there was no one in the house.
"Niece, there are no guests!" Liu Dazui couldn't help but look worried again.
"I have an idea..." Leng You had been concentrating on Bai Changpu's return to Pingdu and had no mood to think about the business issues here. Now, seeing Hu Liu and Liu Dazui's anxious looks, he suddenly felt guilty, so he immediately came up with some promotional ideas.
There was no big ceremony or publicity when the store opened. After all, the policy had just come out, and if Hu Liu hadn't used his connections to get the store opened, there would have been no way the store could have been opened so quickly.
Leng You discussed with Hu Liu and Liu Dazui and finally decided to open the business quietly and then wait and see for a few days to avoid any trouble.
It seems that there is nothing to worry about now, but some sales measures can be taken.
"Oh! These ideas are really great! Why didn't we think of them?
"My niece, what's wrong with your brain? How come you...you're only nine years old!"
Liu Dazui's mouth opened in a horrifying way.
“Don’t open your mouth so wide, as if you want to eat someone. Don’t scare my eldest niece.
My eldest niece is born so smart, smarter than anyone else, this is nothing, what's the fuss about. Tsk! You have no vision. "
Hu Liu stood in front of Leng You and sneered at Liu Dazui with a proud look on his face.
"That's true! Hehe..." Liu Dazui scratched his head and grinned.
Soon, the following scene appeared on the streets and alleys: several young men were holding plates with various cut steamed cured meats on them, inviting passers-by to taste them for free.
People at that time were not as wary as people decades later. Moreover, due to the scarcity of materials, they were more curious about new things, and there was no shortage of people who loved to take advantage of small opportunities.
So basically everyone passing by will pick up a piece with a toothpick to taste it. It doesn't matter if they taste it, almost everyone's eyes light up.
Most people have never even heard of this so-called cured meat, but they didn't expect it to be so delicious. It is even many times more delicious than braised pork, or there is simply no comparison. This unique taste makes people want to take a second bite after taking one, and the more they chew, the more fragrant it becomes, and the more they want to eat.
After tasting one piece, he tasted another piece. When he wanted to take the third piece, the boy holding the plate refused to let him go and said that if he wanted to eat it, he could buy it in the store and gave the detailed address of the store.
Most of the people in the county town are wage earners. Even if they live frugally on weekdays, they are still willing to spend a good meal occasionally. Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so they still need to fill the table with food for the New Year lunch.
So customers started arriving before lunch time, and after lunch, more and more people came until the store was packed with customers.
Hu Liu, Liu Dazui, Da Sanzi, and even Leng You began to help. As it was getting dark, the number of people gradually decreased. Only then did everyone realize that they had not even had time to eat lunch.
"Hu Liu, are you still busy?" As a voice sounded, a woman who looked to be about thirty years old walked in carrying a large cloth bag.
"Why are you here?" When he saw the newcomer, Hu Liu's usual eccentricity and hostility immediately disappeared, and he put on a humble smile.
"Aunt Six, you're here!" The third son immediately stepped forward and took the big bag from the woman's hand.
Leng You: “…”
The address of Dasanzi confirmed her guess about the woman's identity.
"Why am I here? Don't you see what time it is? It's okay for you men to go hungry for a meal or two, but you let your niece starve with you. How can you be a responsible elder?" The woman looked brisk and spoke equally briskly.
"Oh! It's true. I was so busy that I forgot about the time." Hu Liuyi slapped his head.
"This must be my eldest niece. So pretty... so cute! Uh..." When Hu Liu's wife saw Leng You for the first time, her eyes suddenly lit up. She immediately rushed over enthusiastically and was about to hug Leng You, but was grabbed by Hu Liu in time.
"What are you doing! You're like a hungry wolf. Don't scare my eldest niece. She doesn't like people hugging her. Just talk to her nicely." Seeing his wife glaring at him fiercely, Hu Liu was frightened and explained quickly.
"Oh...Is that so!
Niece, I'm sorry! Auntie Six really thinks you are so pretty and cute, and I really like you so much, don't be afraid! Auntie Six is really not a bad person."
After hearing what Hu Liu said, Hu Liu's wife Zhang Meilan hurriedly explained to Leng You, as if she was afraid that it would give Leng You a bad impression and make him ignore her in the future.
"Hello, Aunt Hu Liu!" Leng You greeted Zhang Meilan generously.
She had a good impression of this woman, but what she never expected was that Hu Liu, who looked like a bandit with a hot temper, was like a little lamb in front of his wife, and he was a well-behaved man at home.
With this understanding, my impression of Zhang Meilan has deepened.
"Hey, hey, hey! Good, good, good! Hahahaha..."
